THE VALUE OF FRUIT
A PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE.
NEW ZEALAND PACKING METHODS PRAISED.
Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 18. (Received Sept. 19, at 9.60 p.m.) Writing in the Daily Telegraph Sir Arbuthnot Lane (consulting surgeon to Guy’s Hospital) states that fruit-eating is a necessity not a luxury, and t-h© only certain way of staying the rapidly increasing plague of cancer and innumerable other diseases from which fruit-eating natives are free. A leading fruit importer commenting on the above says: “The tendency towards more fruit eating is universal. The banana is the most popular, but the apple continues to hold its own, and if our Dominion friends will only discard their antiquated methods of grading and packing in order to send fruit which will open up in good condition there is no reason why a big apple trade should not be developed within the Empire. At present New Zealand alone seems to have grasped the importance of grading and packing to meet the requirements here, while some of her neighbours appear to be incapable of appreciating the most rudimentary requirements.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
